Lydia is dead. But they don’t know this yet.” So begins this exquisite novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

Singer-songwriters Bob Farley and Lynn Perdzock believe their songs and music offer an upbeat, positive listening alternative. The duo has written, recorded and performed nationwide, bringing their own brand of folk-rock music to thousands. From love songs (of course) to cautionary tales of planetary survival, their music delves into their feelings for each other and the world around them.
Both Lynn and Bob began their musical journeys as children playing guitar and singing to various folk singers, rock bands, and even classic spirituals. When a chance encounter at an open mic in Ohio brought them together, they soon found out they both wanted to make their solo shows into duo shows. After a couple of rehearsals, they decided to combine their varied styles and abilities to become Raggedy Edge, a place where many kinds of music exist in harmony and peace, past, present, and future.

EVENINGS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH REBECCA FOLSOM


September 1, 2021

Join us! for our last outdoor Evenings of Engagement concert of the season in our back lawn featuring:

Rebecca Folsom

When you hear Rebecca’s voice, with its earthy resonance and sparks of color and light, you feel a divine energy stirring beneath the surface: it’s achingly beautiful. Her music glides from tender to powerful, moving from lilting ballads to knock-you-to-your-knees blues. Rebecca is part grounded Zen, part fiery red head. She brings a hauntingly sumptuous voice to the Folk Americana scene that warms hearts.

Bring your own chair, all of our events are held outdoors on our back lawn.
You can bring your own food and beverages.

Depending on the weather forecast, the location of the event will be changed to the library's community room.

For more information, email Sandy at SRivera@vailgov.com
